Laura sat on the couch with Maisie at her feet, staring at the email that she couldn’t stop reading.  Antonio was threatening to send someone to find her if she didn’t find a way to double the money that she was sending him.  Hearing Larry outside the door, she quickly turned her phone off and smiled, watching as Maisie got up to greet him at the door.

Laura thanked him for starting the bath, kissing him back before letting herself sink into the hot water. The ironic part was that she had grown up with people spoiling her just because she was a Darcy, and she’d done everything she could to get away from it. Of course her parents had cut her off after she had dated her ex girlfriend, even know they only let her move home because she admitted to them that dating a girl had been wrong.  

Taking a sip of her wine, she put the glass down on the side of the tub, sinking her head under the water. Her life was such a mess. She was thirty three, living at home with her parents and she’d never even had a real job. That wasn’t even mentioning the Antonio thing. How could she tell Larry about Antonio? She couldn’t handle the thought of putting him in danger.

When she finally got too pruney for her liking, she got out of the tub and drained the water, chugging the rest of her glass of wine. Wrapping a towel around her, she moved into the living room giving Larry a small smile. “Do you have anything I can wear?”

Laura looked down at her text from Larry inviting her to dinner. She had to admit, she hadn’t been able to stop thinking about him since the other night.  It wasn’t just the sex, which had been amazing, but falling asleep in his arms had been the first time she’d felt safe since Italy.  She stopped by the liquor store picking up a bottle of wine for herself and a six pack for Larry before making her way to his place.  Knocking on the door, she smoothed out her dress, biting her lip as she waited for him to answer.
